Intrinsic Josephson junctions in Y1Ba2Cu3Ox single-crystal whiskers grown using Te-doped precursors

Single-crystal whiskers of Y1Ba2Cu3Ox with a length of about 5mm were grown from a Te-doped precursor. The optimum nominal composition of the precursors was Y2Ba3Cu3Te0.5Ox. From the energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy measurement, Te was not detected in the whiskers. The current-voltage (I-V) char...

Zusammenfassung:	Single-crystal whiskers of Y1Ba2Cu3Ox with a length of about 5mm were grown from a Te-doped precursor. The optimum nominal composition of the precursors was Y2Ba3Cu3Te0.5Ox. From the energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy measurement, Te was not detected in the whiskers. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics along the c axis of an annealed in vacuum whisker exhibit a clear multibranched structure and a hysteresis curve corresponding to intrinsic Josephson junctions.
